The South Piedmont Community College (SPCC) Institutional Review Board (IRB) exists to review and support ethical research involving human participants in order to ensure that the rights of all participants are protected. The IRB seeks to ensure that all research is ethical, confidential, voluntary, and poses minimal risk of harm to participants.

Research involving SPCC students and employees must be reviewed by the SPCC IRB. Additional information about the review process is provided in the IRB Application Instructions below. Contact us with questions at IRB@spcc.edu.
